The sword will fall on Egypt,
    and there will be anguish in Ethiopia
when the slain fall in Egypt,
    when her riches are seized
    and her foundations are destroyed.
Ethiopia and Put and Lud,
    and all Arabia and Lybia,
and the people of the covenant land
    will fall with them by the sword.

Thus says the Lord:

Those who support Egypt shall fall,
    and her proud strength will be brought low.
From Migdol to Syene,
    they shall fall by the sword,
    says the Lord God.
